Spell Weird not allowing healing

Post by Dezidryk » Fri Nov 20, 2009 5:56 pm

After Weird was cast on me a couple times I went to get healing and even 'heal full' only healed 1%, if that and after reading about the spell and searching the help files I could not see any reason for this happening, if i'm wrong, let me know. Thanks.

Weird does leave an affect, but I did not find it to impact the extent of healing obtained by a PC using HEAL FULL. (The same healing resulted when the PC had the weird affect, and when it did not.) Have you used this healer before, and healed appreciably more at their touch? Might you have had other affects at the time?

Our helpfiles don't say so, but d20 says one should take 1d4 temporary strength damage if you save against weird. That may be what the affect is supposed to be for? (I could not detect any such strength-tapping as a result of the spell, but my test subject was still recovering from being raised.)

Has anyone else experienced anything along these lines, or know anything I don't?

I couldn't confirm this one either.

Steps attempted:

1. I cast weird on a PC, who was damaged - and affected by the weird affect.
2. PC tried to heal from a Mob healer.
3. Started with cure light, cure crit, and heal full.

PC was healed as was expected.

If you can remember any other details that might help us track this one, we'll be happy to look into it further!

I must concur with the original comment. I have had this cast on my drow character twice. Once in the fighter school in skullport and also by a wizard name Tristan. I could not heal my wounds after either. My HP would slowly regenerate but wounds would not go, if i healed in a temple/church it had no effect

Just had a thought on this one, if the PC was drow his spell resistance might have come in to effect therefore reducing the healing??
